A member asked:

What does prominent lymphoid tissue in the descending colon mean in a 6 year old child with stomach pain and bloating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: This is a very non-specific finding and is probably normal. I don't know how it was discovered or on what type of test. I would discuss the result with the ordering provider and discuss it in response to the symptoms.
